That's exactly the problem. You only believe that Fox News would say something this stupid in the first place because of dumb hoaxes spread on the internet. Fox News has all the flaws of any major news media outlet, but it's no worse in terms of bias than CNN or MSNBC, the NYT or WaPo. The only reason people are always ganging up on Fox News is because all these other outlets lean left, while Fox News is the only major media outlet that leans right.

Elaborate hoaxes are not the reason for the way everyone thinks of fox. Fox's ignorance is the reason for the hoaxes and stretched out satire. To say that Fox is as biased and dishonest as CNN or MSNBC is a little too far. Yes, they have the same problems as Fox, but not to the same degree. The only reason Fox news isn't banned in Canada is because it's broadcast from the United States. It violates the Canadian regulations of dishonest information. They're not the only country that has regulations that conflict with Fox. but at the same time the same could be said about CNN and MSNBC because they have their dishonest history too.

im am always on the fence when stuff like this comes around. I'm from europe and I don't see any fox news/ it european counterpart, but i hear so many stories about them, i believe they are capable of every shit.
